11 London pubs have been named among the 100 best in the UK – Here’s why

Created by the Mail Online and Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), the list aims to highlight some of the best Great British pubs in the villages, towns and cities around the UK.

The media outlet compiled the list by asking many of the biggest names in the British food and drink industry for their opinion, including the likes of  Tom Parker-Bowles, Raymond Blanc, Michel Roux Jr and Dame Prue Leith.

Plus, the Mail Online also looked at hundreds of reviews and food and drink awards and consulted pub experts like Ed Bedington to help create the list of the UK’s best 100 pubs.
